Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge

Safety

The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It has a hand-operated, spring- loaded closed lever to prevent waste. You can keep the faucet open by pushing upward on the lever to lock it against the faucet spout.

Filter Cartridge Life—Several variables determine how long the cartridges will last in your Water Filtration system. These include:

	How much water you use.
1
	How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or
2
	other unwanted substance, is in the water.

No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the cartridges every six months, when indicated by the electronic indicator light on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice the return of the unwanted substance in your water before the six months are up. In this case the cartridges should be replaced immediately. If the system is also for lead or chemical contaminant removal, it is MORE IMPORTANT to replace the cartridges at least every six months.

NOTE: If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the carbon filters may plug with them, reducing filtered water flow to the system faucet.

Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.

Electronic Indicator Light—The electronic indicator light on the base of the faucet is a six month timer that shows you when to replace the filter cartridges. When the battery pack is first installed, the indicator light will light briefly to show that the electronics are operating. If this does not happen, the batteries may be installed backwards or the leadwires are not connected.

After about six months, the indicator light begins to flash. It is time to replace the filter cartridges. When replacing the filter cartridges, also replace the batteries in the battery pack. Two “AA” batteries are required.
